How do you have your /etc/dhcpd.conf file setup ?

Are you handing out static IP addresses, with the MAC address
specified in dhcpd.conf ?

Or, are you doing a range of addresses dynamically assigned ?

If you are doing it the first way, then you need a line
in there that says :

            use-host-decl-names       on;


If you are doing a range of addresses, then I don't know of any
way to hand the hostname back to the workstation.
